Coal fired the furnaces of an industrial revolution that led to 100 years of global economic domination. Welsh copper clad the hull of HMS Victory and other warships that ensured military supremacy and imperial clout. Eventually huge mines, many in that former empire, undercut British ones. These days four-fifths of British mining output by weight is of low-value sand and gravel. But the picks may soon be swinging again. Wolf Minerals, an Australian firm, listed on AIM on November 30th with the intention of raising cash to finance a tungsten mine in Devon. Humphrey Hale, Wolf's boss, says the world's fourth-largest deposit of the metal, a vital ingredient for toughening steel, lies some eight miles north-east of Plymouth. Supplies of Devonian tungsten might start flowing in 2013 and could one day relax China's grip on global production. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
